The Art of Hosting Conversations that Matter with The Outside
The Art of Hosting Conversations that Matter with The Outside
The Outside team invites you to join us at an Island of Sanity in ”the river flowing now, very fast.” We will bring everything we have learned over the last 25 years of international change work, while exploring with a fresh outlook what it means to meet this moment, and invite you to do the same. We welcome your experience, your questions, your wonderings, your fears, and your longings.
This Art of Hosting will explore:
How can participatory leadership practices be most meaningful and impactful at this time?
How has leadership rooted in engagement been disrupted? What are the dangers and limitations? What is the emerging potential?
What is the best strategy at the right time? When to stay under cover and protect? When to accelerate and illuminate?
How can we develop new approaches that fit the current reality? What changes does that demand of me as a practitioner?
For over 25 years, the Art of Hosting (also known as the Participatory Leadership) has offered simple yet powerful participatory practices to host generative conversations leading to collective action and long-lasting change. The Art of Hosting is more than just a training program. These participatory leadership approaches are used in wide-ranging contexts worldwide, scaling from the personal to the systemic using personal practice, dialogue, facilitation and the co-creation of ways forward to address complex challenges.
